Asia's shrinking glaciers protect large populations from drought stress
HD Pritchard - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
About 800 million people depend in part on meltwater from the thousands of glaciers in the
high mountains of Asia. Water stress makes this region vulnerable to drought, but glaciers …

Distributed global debris thickness estimates reveal debris significantly impacts glacier mass balance
Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting,
while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models …
